Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. Moreover, it seemed like his low-grade fever never subsided. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with crying and fussing in children be treated properly?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be selected according to the body temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used; above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly suitable for children who experience recurrent episodes. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and further inflammation of the tonsils.
